| Title | Call for Papers: Language Immersion Programs |
| Body | From http://www.casieonline.org/glc/CFP.htm Following the success of the Global Convention on Language Issues and Bilingual Education held by the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO) in 2006 in Singapore, CASIE is hosting a follow-up Global Language Convention in cooperation with the IBO. CASIE invites paper and workshop submissions to the Global Language Convention, which will be held April 17-20, 2008, at Atlanta International School. The Convention serves as a forum for stimulating, disseminating and discussing research on language education. The focus of the convention will be, but is not limited to Language Immersion Programs. CASIE welcomes contributions from researchers in many fields, given the multidisciplinary and collaborative nature of language education including policy, communications, sociology and more. The topics can include language immersion programs within the framework of the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum as well as in schools that do not use the IB programs. The conference program includes competitively selected, peer-reviewed papers, as well as one hour and one and one half hour workshops, a small number of invited speakers and model lesson sessions in cooperation with faculty and students from Atlanta International School. Those attending the Convention will be educators, administrators, program coordinators, and language teachers from IB World Schools as well as non-IB schools. CASIE expects about 300 people to attend the Convention. We would like to invite language educators, academics and specialists who have particular interests related to Language Immersion Programs to submit papers for presentation. Other papers and/or workshops related to other approaches to second language learning will also be considered.
